As mentioned in previous posts we have a new term-time programme for our youth sessions, please see below.
Due to the unexpected increase in demand for places on the youth sessions and the limited staff capacity, can we ask that rather than just turning up to enrol your child onto a session you contact us first on 0191 2647566 or by e-mailing sara@dycp.org.uk to check availability. Thank you

Again the first session is free then there is a contribution of £1.50 per session thereafter, this includes the cost of supplying a healthy snack and refreshments.
Denton & Westerhope Mature Action Group

This is a session for the over 50’s who are interested in socialising with like minded people. The group take part in a range of talks and demonstrations on a range of subjects and topics delivered by guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds. They also take part in campaigning on local issues that effect their quality of life, such as transport issues etc. Every few months the group take part in an inter-generational project with young people from the centre and these centre around a themed meal. The session has a £1 contribution which includes refreshments. For more information or to book a place on the next session e-mail sara@dycp.org.uk.
